Review of Ben-Hur (1959) by Sam C — 26 Nov 2009
An epic - that's for sure!
DeMille couldn't have done it better!
But, as many epic movies, also this 11-time Oscar winner has a lot of flaws - especially in the acting and emotional departments.
The movie has amazing pictures and a setting that is way ahead of its time. But it's also partially very boring and with its length of about 4 hours I had a really tough time to sit through.
